We think so, and the answer might well lie in Beijing (or Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Shenzhen, Tianjin, Wuhan, Xi’an, Hangzhou and beyond). All bigger than London, and accounting for a good chunk of the 148,320 Chinese students currently studying in the UK. We’re directly connected to the market in China, and through us, you could be too.

Whether you’re marking one of life’s milestones, planning an exciting city escape, or just want a comfortable base from which to work, discover the perfect blend of comfort, location, and convenience that is higgihaus.
Exclusive UK residences for long-stay Chinese guests
Centrally located, fully furnished and beautifully appointed long-stay apartments for Chinese guests studying in the UK, or here on foreign assignment. We deliver a seamless ‘hotel-style’ experience with comprehensive support for navigating life in a new country.
Chic, community-focused
co-living for working professionals
Extraordinary, design-led, community-centric, art-filled large houses redefining shared city-centre living for today’s young professionals. We are breathing new life into grand old-period properties so that young professionals can live closer to the city centre in a location and at a standard of specification that they would not otherwise be able to afford.
We’re already active in Bristol, Cardiff, Swansea and Cheltenham but have plans to bring a little higgihaus branded magic to selected university cities across the UK, with Manchester, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Southampton and Leeds our near-term priorities.
